E&M Signaling

E&M Signaling A signaling arrangement that uses separate leads, called respectively the E lead and the M lead, for the signaling and voice signals. The M lead (derived from ‘Mouth’) transmits ground or battery to the distant end of the circuit, while incoming signals are received as either a grounded or open condition on the E (derived from ‘Ear’) lead. The E&M tie trunk interface functions as a de facto standard in the PBX - T1 multiplexer Telco environment.

Earth ground

Electro- magnetic Interference (EMI)

A wire conductor that terminates in the earth for electrical purposes. It is generally the negative side of the circuit and is most important in alternating current (AC) circuits. Chassis Ground is the general term used in direct current (DC) circuits.

Equipment used in high speed data systems, including ATM, that generate and transmit many signals in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Interference to other equipment or radio services may result if sufficient power from these signals escape the equipment enclosures or transmission media. National and international regulatory agencies (FCC, CISPR, etc.) set limits for these emissions. Class A is for industrial use and Class B is for residential use.

Ethernet

Facilities Data Link (FDL)

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

filter

Ethernet is a particular network topology and protocol, especially useful in LANs. It comes in various speeds and is often regarded as THE current technology for general network direct connection. The current connectivity is generally considered to be 10Base-T or 100Base-T, while the backbone, if one is used, is coaxial cable or Fiber optics. There is also a 1000Base-T for certain specialty copper joining situations.

FDL supports the communication of various network information in the form of in-service monitoring and diagnostics.

An Internet protocol that enables you to transfer files between computers on the Internet.

An operating parameter used with routers that can be set to block the transfer of packets from one LAN to another.
